Diatomaceous Earth, Food-Grade DE

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is an excellent natural and totally organic source of silica and safe. Diatomaceous Earth is Mother Nature's product with no harm to the environment, pets or to people. Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silica, and there is no life without silica. In 1939, the Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, Professor Adolf Butenant, proved that life can not exist without Silica. It is the most important trace mineral for human health. Silica has an important role in many body functions and has a direct relationship to mineral absorption. The average human body holds approximately seven grams of silica, a quantity far exceeding the figures for other important minerals such as iron. Some claim that using Diatomaceous Earth positively works for those that have high blood pressure. It also has the ability to lower high cholesterol levels and is helpful for varicose veins. DE is helping people lose weight by curbing the appetite throughout the day and it increases the metabolism of higher energy levels. Silica tones the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx) and may reduce swelling because of its positive effects on the lymphatic system. Supplementation with silica keeps women from feeling stressed and helps prevent other symptoms. Cancer cannot survive in cells that have the correct level of silica. And the antioxidants help to prevent premature aging and to promote youthfulness. For osteoporosis, can stop the pain and restore the body's self-repair process. DE is used extensively as a health and beauty product for hair, skin, and nails. It has also been claimed to help prevent kidney stones and heal infections of the urinary tract. The presence of silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation and even disinfect in cases of stomach and intestinal mucus and ulcers. Silica can prevent and cure diarrhea and its opposite, constipation. It has been used to normalize hormonal tissues and by regulating and normalizing the bowels, it can alleviate lower back pain, which is sometimes troublesome for the elderly. Silica has proven to be effective with female discharge, abscesses, and ulcers in the genital area and cervix, as well as mastitis, especially in breastfeeding mothers. The intake of DE acts as a supportive treatment for inflammation of the middle ear and can be used for swelling of lymph nodes in the throat. Silica can also decrease vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and insomnia. It can help diabetes by promoting synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas.

Silica is responsible for depositing minerals into the bones, especially calcium. And it is helpful in speeding up the healing process for fractures and for reducing the scarring at the site of the fracture. Even when calcium is deficient, the body can turn silica into calcium that bones need and restore the body's self-repair process. Osteoporosis symptoms usually attack women after menopause but the degeneration actually starts much earlier, in their younger days. Evidence suggests supplemental mineral calcium may actually leach away the bone calcium and hasten the degenerative process of osteoporosis and similar diseases that affect the supportive and connective tissues in the body. The silica can help to assimilate and make use of the calcium to allow the supplements to work. Silica also improves the elasticity of joints and helpful for the pain of rheumatism.

According to consumers, just as Diatomaceous Earth helps to lower blood pressure it also lowers their cholesterol levels. Some are reporting 40-60 points lower after only two weeks of using it. Of the thousands of people that are using Diatomaceous Earth, most that have high blood pressure have reported that it has gone down. Silica can help with an arterial disease by strengthening the blood vessels. Studies have confirmed that with age, silica disappears from the aorta, weakening its connective tissue and can result in a greater cardiac risk.

Silica stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels and works with other antioxidants to prevent premature aging and to preserve youthfulness and stimulate the immune system, as well. Silica can help avoid or alleviate Alzheimer's disease by preventing the body from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from the tissues. It has also been reported to absorb methyl mercury, E. coli, radiation, endotoxins, viruses, including the polio virus, pesticide residues, and drug residues. Silica can help to avoid or alleviate Alzheimer's disease by preventing the body by flushing out aluminum from the tissues.

DE is a natural colon cleanser and detoxifier. DE has a negative charge of bacteria and is believed to sweep bacteria out of the body. Silica supplementation can help to repair and maintain vital lung tissues by protecting them from pollution. And by maintaining or restoring the elasticity of lung tissue, it reduces inflammation of bronchitis. It acts as a cough decreasing agent, that tones the upper respiratory tract and reduces swelling of lymph nodes.

Tissue degenerates due to aging and unable to retain moisture when left unassisted. Silica can slow down this process help to retain vitality and life back to the skin. When the body has enough collagen-glycosaminoglycan, it will help us to look younger. Collagen owes the quality of silica, which is the glue that holds us together and provides a beautiful complexion that is more than skin deep. Silica also helps with skin problems and injuries including itching, rashes, eczema, benign skin sores, bedsores, insect bites, warts, age spots, callouses, boils, abscesses, and acne. Using DE mixed with water to make a paste makes a great face cleanser that exfoliates and will make your skin look and feel younger for pennies.

Hair is nature's greatest beauty enhancer and silica is a major component of hair. Using Diatomaceous Earth as a supplement will help to revitalize the hair and prevent baldness.

It effectively fights ulceration and decay of bones, teeth and also lessens inflammation. Silica supplementation helps fragile, brittle nails by improving their hardness making them shinier within a short period of time.

DE is not actually an "earth" but it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one celled plants called Diatoms. DE kills pests and parasites naturally-no chemical, no odor and no additives of any kind. The microscopic particles are deadly to the bedbug, roaches, silverfish, ants, fire ants, fleas, ticks, crabs and hair lice, flies, scorpions, crickets, earwigs, spiders and many other insects. They attach themselves to the body of the bug and physically lacerates their exposed tissue. The insect dies from dehydration, usually within a few hours. It can be used safely around the home, yard and animal housing to prevent insects from entering. It will not harm earthworms or beneficial soil microorganisms.

Ingredients: Diatomaceous Earth is a fossilized deposit of microscopic shells created by one-celled plants called Diatoms. These plants inhabit all the waters of the earth, and serve as the basic food for aquatic life, just as grass is the basic food for land animals. Our Diatomaceous Earth has been designated as food-grade and come from freshwater sources. Also contains trace minerals.
